CAPTURED! One Winfield Prison Escapee Back in Custody

Winfield inmate Robert Cook remains at large.Still missing is 52-year-old inmate Robert Cook. 

Both men escaped from the Winfield prison Saturday afternoon in a state-owned truck.  The vehicle was found abandoned Sunday morning about 15 miles north of Winfield.  It's believed that the two then stole a City of Douglass vehicle described as a dark blue 2006 GMC Sierra with a Kansas license tag of 74914. The truck also has “City of Douglass” on a door on each side, a brush guard on the front, yellow caution lights on top, and two side mounted tool boxes in the rear.  Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Robert Cook or the vehicle is encouraged to contact law enforcement officials.
